Chelsea vs Bayer Leverkusen: Live Streaming & TV Channels

Chelsea are ready to play their first 2025 preseason match when they host a determined Bayer Leverkusen side in what should be a highly entertaining friendly bout at Stamford Bridge on Friday evening. These two sides have faced off against one another only twice in their history. Both their meetings have taken place in the UEFA Champions League, with Chelsea winning one and the Bundesliga club winning another. Their last game took place on 23 November 2011, which Bayer won by a 2-1 margin. Chelsea are coming off fresh off their 2025 FIFA Club World Cup success. Enzo Maresca's side stunned many fans by thrashing PSG in the final to win the tournament, and they are on a five-match winning streak heading into their first preseason match before the 2025/26 season.

Bayer Leverkusen has looked pretty good at the start of the new era under Erik ten Hag. After suffering a loss to Flamengo U-20 in their first 2025 preseason match, the Bundesliga side have since won their last three straight games heading into the match at Stamford Bridge. Enzo Maresca is going to be missing a few players heading into this preseason clash. Wesley Fofana is still not fully fit after recovering from a thigh injury. Benoit Badiashile (leg) and Enzo Fernandez (thigh) are both likely to miss this game because of injuries. Levi Colwill is also a major doubt because of an injury. Erik ten Hag has a relatively fit enough squad available heading into this clash. However, he will be without defender Jeanuel Belocian, who is still recovering from a knee injury and is unlikely to be back in action before September 2025.
